The eye is a delicate and sensitive organ and can not resist impact or exposure to harsh chemical fumes which are quite common in most industrial and work site environments. Such hazardous environments put the eyes at a high risk of trauma and therefore makes it absolutely important to have the eyes protected with safety EYE wears in such environments.
Some of the common types of protective EYE wears are as follows.
Regular corrective spectacles
Glasses with anti reflective could protect your eyes from disturbing glare from various light source such as compute screen and vehicle head lamp at night. Glasses with transition helps protect the eyes from the harshness of the rays of sunlight. Polarized sun glasses give better protection to the eyes in the sun. The help eliminate harmful UV rays from the sun.
Safety Spectacles
Safety Spectacles often have side shields and required to be worn by occupational workers. They are designed to protect the eyes against hazards such as flying objects, fragments, big or small particles. They are made of plastic or metal frames and often have an impact-resistance with or without a prescription.
Safety googles
Safety googles are designed to protect the eyes. They are designed to fit closely to the contours around the eye area. This forms a protective seal around the eyes and therefore protects the eyes from liquid splash, dust or any air-born material.
Most of them are made of impact-resistance material and incorporates the wearers prescription. However, some workers simply wear their goggle over their regular spectacle if there is a enough room for the spectacle to fit behind the googles.
Face shield
This is meant to provide protection to the entire face. However, if used alone, it may not give the eyes the desired protection it needs. To ensure that the eye is well protected, face shield should be worn over safety Spectacles or googles.
